<p>Does Wharton show any kind of sympathy towards recent immigrants. I came here in 6th grade. As a result, I did poorly freshman year of in a really competitive high school. But i managed to pull it up during sophomore and junior year. Will they take this into consideration at all or would they just blindly look at your transcript average</p>
<p>haha i wonder if you go to stuy</p>
<p>well, i’m sure they take everything into consideration… as long as someone on your app they know that you moved here in 6th grade</p>
<p>My cousin goes to Stuyv…she came here at like six grade, and got ok marks…but Cornell deferred her from ED…they take it into consideration, but they don’t see it as a great excuse.</p>
<p>Yea, they def take it into consideration. If you show general improvement and if it looks like you have challenged yourself, then you should be fine. I also came from another country in 7th grade and i have the same exact situation as you (competitive public h.s. in NY etc) and if they only looked at my GPA i probably would have gotten rejected but i was deferred so… you should be fine</p>
<p>i think if u get deferred you have a 10 percent chance of getting in</p>
<p>yeah, 10-15%</p>
<p>yea i don’t care… didn’t wanna go to Penn anyways i got into a school i really wanted to go to so…</p>
<p>and what school would that be?</p>
